An excellent Mission 774 low mass tonearm (not to be confused with the 774LC which is far inferior). Excellent condition, with paddles, improved cable and the later, improved SME-style base.
I have been using this on a Kenwood KD500 with great results. The bearings are fine, everything works as it should, and the counter-weight has no sag. Included is the original accessories box, with three damping paddles, armboard bolts & screws, keys and extra bias weight. The arm-wand is virtually new and its headshell has been carefully drilled to accomodate all cartridges, including those with threaded holes.
I replaced the old cable with a better one and new Audio Technica phonos. I’m only selling this as I have another.
(From Vinylengine):
The original Mission 774 tonearm was designed by John Bicht and incorporated fluid damping and a detachable alloy arm wand.The arm is designed to direct couple the cartridge assembly to the turntable mass.This is essential in that if the tonearm suffers free play, it will inevitably set itself in motion independent of record modulations thereby adding to and subtracting from information retrieved by the stylus tip.The secret of the Mission 774 is its unique rigid bearing design, elimination of conventional ‘flapping’ headshell and other resonating parts, total structural integrity, low effective mass and minimal pivot friction.The arm employs silicone viscous damping and three different damping paddles are supplied with the 774 to optimize the performance of different cartridges of varying compliance.SpecificationsEffective length: 229mmEffective mass: <5.5g (depending on counterweight)Friction: <15mg (horizontal and vertical)Downforce error: <0.2%Fundamental resonance: 5 to 18Hz (depending on cartridge)Cartridge mass: 2 to 10gConnections: 1200mm cableArmtube / headshell assembly: interchangeableHydraulic damping: viscous fluidAdjustments: height, tilt, overhang and biasFinish: black
